On September 4, 1990, at age 11, she was hit by a car while walking home from school, resulting in paralysis from the neck down.

She graduated magna cum laude from Harvard with a bachelor of science in cognitive neuroscience in 2000 and a master's degree in public policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, making her the first quadriplegic to graduate from Harvard.

Ellison ran for New York State Senate as a Democrat in 2006 but was defeated by the Republican incumbent, John Flanagan.
One of Ellison's principal issues was her support for embryonic stem cell research.
She served on the advisory board of the Genetics Policy Institute.
Ellison was a professor in the School of Health Technology and Management at Stony Brook University and a motivational speaker.
She completed her Ph.D. in 2012 from Stony Brook University.
In 2014, Rutgers University awarded Ellison an honorary doctorate in humane letters.
In November 2015, Ellison teamed up with director James Siegel to create the award-winning documentary "Hope Deferred", which aims to educate the general public about embryonic stem cell research.
